Two off duty Leominster nurses came to the assistance of a cyclist who was seriously injured when he was in collision with a car near Hereford.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the accident on the Roman Road near Hereford last Thursday, which was attended by three rapid response vehicles, an emergency doctor and the County Air Ambulance from Strensham.
An ambulance spokesman said: “When the first paramedic in a rapid response vehicle arrived at scene, two off duty nurses from Leominster Community Hospital were helping a man who had been injured after his bicycle and a car were in a collision.
“The man, believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, had suffered severe chest and head injuries.
“Crews carried out emergency treatment on the man at the scene. He was airlifted to Selly Oak Hospital Major Trauma Unit, while receiving further care from the doctor who travelled with the man in the helicopter.”
“The paramedic first on scene would like to thank the two off duty nurses and also two off duty firefighters who assisted him.”
